When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a sober and supportive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or the individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Gilmer are managed by individuals who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The duration an individual is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must comply with alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place randomly to be certain there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction treatment program.
